The tremendous favor with which the
bill Is reicarded was manifested In the
fact that the bill was passed by 79
ayes to 31 nays. If the bill pass the
Senate the effect will be to make pro

Lobbying, as It is understood.

GLENN AFTER OVERMAN'S SEAT.
The Washington Herald probably
picked It up as gossip abcul the capi
tol that Governor It- B. Glenn Is likely
to make a fight for a seat In the Unit
ed States Senate in 1303 against Sen
ator Lee S. Overman, who, it Is as
urned. will seek a second term. Sen
ator Overman Is now serving his
first term and has two years mire to
serve- When his term Is out the field
will be open to Senator Overman and
all comers for the next term, and from
time to time Governor Glenn has been
mentioned as his mcjt formidable op
ponent for the honor. Whether the
Herald Is correctly Informed or not.
we Lake from It tbe following concern
ing the possibility of Governor Glenn's
candidacy:
"Although Senator Overman term
will not expire for two years the
North Carcllca delegation Is getting
considerably stirred up over the pros
pect of a possible Senatorial contest
tn their State that will provoke great
excitement. Mr. Overman has taken
high rank la the Senate, and Is re
garded one of the soundest law
yers In the body, but It appears that
Governor Glenn is making extensive
preparations to coolest the Senator
ships wtth him. The governor is said
to be quietly crganlzieg the forces of
opposition, and In doing so is making
excellent cse of the patronage at his
disposal. Mr. Overman. It Is said,
was neteT popular with the element
of the Tar Heel Democracy wblch
Joined the populist movement in the
early nineties and divided the State
between the Populists and Republi
cans, and now tnat this radical ele
ment Is back in the Democratic party
It seems that its Influence is being
exerted against him. Governor Glenn
of course. Is taking full advantage of
tho situation and is supposed already tc
hare made considerable headway
acainst . Mr. Overman. However, the
Senator knows the politics of his
S'-ate thoroughly and has made
such an excellent record in Washing
ton that his supporters In the North
Carolina contingent here believe that
he will prove invmcible when the local
sat comes on."
Who aid the Populists have coma
back Into the Democratic party? The
Republicans In North Carolina claim
that they absorbed the Populists. It
would be interesting to know which
party got the most of them when the
a little too far when he under
takes to regulate the advertising'bus
Iness of the newspapers of the State
for them. It will soon come to pass
that an editor will have to consult a
copy of the Revised Statutes before
he "can make a move Charlotte
Chronicle.
--A proposition is pending before
the North Carolina Legislature to fix
2 1-2 cents as the first class fare on
railroads and two cents as second
class. After everybody else gets
through helping themselves to cheap

roads In Tennessee will voluntarily re
duce the'-r fares. If not what are we
going to do about It?--Chattanooga
